Description

High Performance. Low Weight.

The Shimano Ultegra CS-R8000 11-Speed Cassette provides a wide variety of gearing options with a lightweight, durable construction of nickel-plated steel for seasons of corrosion-resistant riding. Utilizing trickled-down design and technology from their Dura Ace series, the R8000 weighs provides top-tier performance at a slight weight penalty. Featuring the same cogs-on-carrier design for the largest 5 cogs, this saves weight and increases strength.

Designed to provide superior rider choice, there's a R8000 cassette to suit nearly every riding style and terrain type.

The Ultegra cassette has always been the best balance of price and performance. With the release of the 8000 series comes the new 11-30 cassette, which I really loved for cyclocross. Having the 30t was nice to have on steep courses over the 28 but only a little bit heavier.

I wanted the wide gear range available in this cassette and also was glad I could get it at a decent price. I have one of these on another bike and it has lasted a very long time. This one should also last a long time. This is a very good cassette that I'll buy again if the need arises.

started to have poor shifting while on the trainer and realized lubrication was not the issue. Worn cassette and idler wheels were actually the culprits. Installed new cassette and idlers-voila! problems solved
